To date, he fairy shrimps (Anostraca) of Chilean inland waters have been poorly described. Those that were described mainly belong to the genus Branchinecta, and the reports are primarily restricted to shallow seasonal pools at the northern and southern extremes of Chile. The aim of the present study was to give a first description of Branchinecta rocaensis, reported from ephemeral coastal pools in the Puaucho dunes, situated in the Araucania region. The results of null model analysis revealed first, that species associations are random and that there is niche overlap, while according to the principal component analysis, B. rocaensis was present at sites with low conductivity, low total dissolved solids and low temperature values, but with a high abundance of ostracods. The results obtained would agree with similar observations for Branchinecta habitats in southern Chilean Patagonia.
RESUMEN.Se evaluó e l efecto de la salinidad en la supervivencia embrionaria, período embrionario y período de eclosión de puye, Galaxias maculatus. Se utilizaron ocho tratamientos, con salinidades de 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 y 20 obteniéndose supervivencias embrionarias promedios respectivas de 84,9; 84,0; 85,5; 86,1; 82,6 y 75,8%, sin diferencias significativas entre ellas, mientras que con salinidad de 24 se obtuvo sobrevivencia de 10,4%, significativamente diferente al resto de los tratamientos y con salinidad de 28 causó 100% de mortalidad. A diferencia del estado juvenil y adulto, el embrión es incapaz de resistir la salinidad marina y su umbral de tolerancia se encuentra entre salinidades de 24 y 28. Las mayores supervivencias promedios larvales a 10 días de vida fueron con salinidades intermedias de 8, 12 y 16 de 79,3; 80,3 y 74,6% respectivamente, sin diferencias significativas entre ellas, demostrando alta viabilidad del embrión post-eclosión. Los períodos embrionarios promedios (50%) más breves fueron a bajas salinidades 0, 4, 8, 12 con 28,7; 28,0; 29,7 y 29,7 días y los más extensos en los tratamientos con salinidades de 16 y 20, con 34,0 y 34,3 días, sin diferencias significativas entre ellos. Los períodos de eclosión promedio (50%) con salinidades de 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 y 24 fueron de 5,0; 5,5; 7,5; 8,8; 13,0; 14,3 y 15,8 días respectivamente, sin diferencias significativas entre ellos.

Eight different salinity effects on embryonic survival and embryonic and hatching phase time duration of jollytail (Galaxias maculatus) were assessed. Mean survival rates were higher at salinities values of 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 with 84.9, 84.0, 85.5, 86.1, 82.6 and 75.8% respectively with no significant differences between them; in contrast to salinity of 24 was obtained by 10.4%, significantly different from other treatments. Salinity of 28 caused 100% of mortality. According to results, the embryo is unable to resist ocean salinity and its tolerance limit is between 24 and 28. The highest larval survivals at 10 days after hatching occurred in those treatments in which embryos were performed to intermediate salinities of 8, 12 and 16 with 79.3, 80.3 and 74.6% respectively, with no significant differences between them. These results demonstrate high post-hatching viability. Embryonic time period (50%) were shorter at low salinities 0, 4, 8 and 12 with 28.7, 28.0, 29.7 and 29.7 days and the largest, in the treatments of salinities of 16 and 20 with 34.0 and 34.3 days. No significant differences were found between all of them. Regarding the average hatching time periods (50%) in the treatments of salinities of 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 were 5.0, 5.5, 7.5, 8.8, 13, 0, 14.3 and 15.8 days respectively, without significant differences between them.
Efecto combinado de la temperatura y salinidad sobre la supervivencia embrionaria de Galaxias maculatus Abstract.-This study aims to evaluate the effect of temperature and salinity on Galaxias maculatus embryo survival. Embryos were incubated at 5, 10 and 15°C and 0, 10 and 30 psu. At 5°C all salinities induced 100% mortality. Furthermore, salinity of 30, regardless temperature, caused 100% mortality. In freshwater, embryos reached 74.7 and 69.3% survival at 10°C and 15°C, respectively. While, at 10 psu, the larvae survivals were higher, 88.7 and 80.0% with 10 and 15°C respectively. These findings suggest that there is not a temperature-salinity interaction effect on embryonic development of G. maculatus.In conclusion the embryonic development of this fish is only possible at fresh and brackish waters and it is not viable at salt w ater.
RESUMEN.Se evaluó el efecto de seis temperaturas constantes en la sobrevivencia embrionaria, periodo embrionario y periodo de eclosión de Galaxias maculatus de 7 a 22ºC, en condiciones de laboratorio. Los resultados de la sobrevivencia embrionaria fueron: 90,6 ± 2,0; 88,7 ± 8,6; 87,7 ± 0,7; 89,7 ± 4,2; 70,0 ± 5,6 y 49,5 ± 7,4% a temperaturas de 7, 10, 13, 16, 19 y 22ºC. Exceptuando la temperatura de 22ºC, no hay diferencias significativas entre ellas (P > 0,05). Estos resultados caracterizan al embrión como euritérmico independientemente de ser una especie de aguas subantárticas. En relación al periodo embrionario (ʈʜ50%), los resultados fueron de 40,8 ± 0,6; 27,0 ± 0,0; 17,3 ± 0,6; 16,3 ± 0,6 y 13,3 ± 0,6 días a temperaturas de 7, 10, 13, 16 y 19ºC respectivamente, con diferencias significativas entre ellas (P < 0,05), y en el caso del periodo de eclosión (ʈʜ50%), fue de 8,3 ± 0,6; 6,3 ± 1,5; 5,0 ± 0,0; 6,3 ± 0,6; 5,0 ± 1,0 y 4,3 ± 0,6 días a temperaturas de 7, 10, 13, 16, 19 y 22ºC respectivamente, con diferencias significativas entre ellas (P < 0,05). Los resultados sugieren que el rango de temperaturas entre 10 y 16°C es óptimo para la incubación de ovas de G. maculatus, ya que se obtienen combinadamente altos porcentajes de sobrevivencia embrionaria >87,7%, periodos embrionarios <27 días y periodos de eclosión <6,3 días. Estos resultados permitirán optimizar la sobrevivencia embrionaria y el eventual cultivo de la especie para fines comerciales o de repoblamiento.

Effect of temperature on survival of embryos of puye Galaxias maculatus(Jenyns, 1842) ABSTRACT. We evaluated the effect of six constant temperatures on embryonic survival, embryonic period and hatching period of Galaxias maculatus from 7 to 22°C under laboratory conditions. The results of embryo survival were: 90.6 ± 2.0, 88.7 ± 8.6, 87.7 ± 0.7, 89.7 ± 4.2, 70.0 ± 5.6 and 49.5 ± 7.4% at temperatures of 7, 10, 13, 16, 19 and 22ºC. Except for the temperature of 22°C, there were no significant differences between them (P < 0.05). These results characterize the embryo as eurythermic regardless of being a subantarctic waters species. Regarding the embryonic period (ʈʜ50%), the results were 40.8 ± 0.6, 27.0 ± 0.0, 17.3 ± 0.6, 16.3 ± 0.6 and 13.3 ± 0.6 days at temperatures of 7, 10, 13, 16 and 19°C respectively, with significant differences between them (P < 0.05) and in the case of the hatching period (ʈʜ50%), was 8.3 ± 0.6, 6.3 ± 1.5, 5.0 ± 0.0 and 6.3 ± 0.6, 5.0 ± 1.0 and 4.3 ± 0.6 days at temperatures of 7, 10, 13, 16, 19 and 22ºC respectively with significant differences between them (P < 0.05). These results suggest that the range of temperatures between 10 and 16°C is optimal for the incubation of G. maculatus eggs, since in that range high embryonic survival (>87.7%) combined with embryonic periods of less than 27 days and hatching periods less than 6.3 days were obtained. These results will optimize embryo survival and eventually reari...
